CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

BaronVonCount Woody Allen always promises so much, with most of his his movies having such really great concepts, that they make most directors seem trivial. Unfortunately, probably because he feels compelled to put out a movie per year whether the script or production merit it, Woody Allen often falls way short of his promise. Even when he actually delivers a fine movie like "Midnight in Paris' it feels like with another few months honing the script would have made it into a much better film might even put him on the same plane as his beloved Bergman. In Hollywood Ending, which has the imaginative premise of a blind director, an idea which could have produced something brilliant handled by an in-form Woody falls shrorer than ever due to a half-baked script with some classic lines, but far too few, but mostly due to Woody's unconvincing portrayal of a blind person. While often a great lead in his films, here he is seen time after time talking in the opposite direction of the person he is supposed to be conversing with, which would make sense if he was deaf as well as blind, but just looks totally unconvincing here. Coupled with a so-so script and no really strong supporting roles this made for his weakest effort of all time. As usual the score is wonderful, but there isn't much else to recommend it.

dweber34 Easy to sum this picture up: Movie-about-movies + Woody Allen plays himself again + Deus Ex Machina happy ending. Foolish add-ins like a rat-eating rock musician son who Woody, playing the same nebbish as always, allegedly took fishing as a child. I realized I wasn't getting any enjoyment from the film when it took me three separate logins on HBONow to finish it.

JasparLamarCrabb A woefully under-rated Woody Allen comedy. Allen is a high minded film director who refuses to compromise despite having no commercial appeal to anyone. He's so difficult he's only able to get jobs directing COMMERICIALS! He's given the chance to direct a feature from ex-wife Téa Leoni and becomes so overwrought, he goes blind (unbeknownst to the studio or much of the crew). This is one of Allen's flat out funniest films with a great cast, a ridiculous plot and a classic Allen performance. Leoni is hilarious as well. Both are out-shone by Debra Messing as Allen's ditsy girlfriend and would-be actress. The supporting cast is a typical Allen free-for-all & includes Treat Williams, George Hamilton, and Tiffani Thiessen as a very aggressive ingénue.

namashi_1 While watching 'Hollywood Ending', I re-confirmed the fact that there is, there was and there will be only one Woody Allen. The Legendary Film Personality seems to be having a blast in this Funny Flick about a Has-Been Filmmaker who decides to direct a film for his ex, but a psychosomatic ailment strikes him blind just before production is set to begin.! 'Hollywood Ending' is meant for all, it's funny and way to Filmy. Allen is like never-before! He's astounding after he turns blind, he captures the show and like how! I am in awe of him. He can Write, Direct and Act, with such style, such ease and such understanding! He's one of those talents that remain as Legends till you watch Cinema! Watch 'Hollywood Ending' for Woody Allen, he sinks his teeth into the departments he puts himself into. Reccmended to all!
